Patch series "permit write-sealed memfd read-only shared mappings", v4.
The man page for fcntl() describing memfd file seals states the following
about F_SEAL_WRITE:-
Furthermore, trying to create new shared, writable memory-mappings via
mmap(2) will also fail with EPERM.
With emphasis on 'writable'. In turns out in fact that currently the
kernel simply disallows all new shared memory mappings for a memfd with
F_SEAL_WRITE applied, rendering this documentation inaccurate.
This matters because users are therefore unable to obtain a shared mapping
to a memfd after write sealing altogether, which limits their usefulness.
This was reported in the discussion thread [1] originating from a bug
report [2].
This is a product of both using the struct address_space->i_mmap_writable
atomic counter to determine whether writing may be permitted, and the
kernel adjusting this counter when any VM_SHARED mapping is performed and
more generally implicitly assuming VM_SHARED implies writable.
It seems sensible that we should only update this mapping if VM_MAYWRITE
is specified, i.e. whether it is possible that this mapping could at any
point be written to.
If we do so then all we need to do to permit write seals to function as
documented is to clear VM_MAYWRITE when mapping read-only. It turns out
this functionality already exists for F_SEAL_FUTURE_WRITE - we can
therefore simply adapt this logic to do the same for F_SEAL_WRITE.
We then hit a chicken and egg situation in mmap_region() where the check
for VM_MAYWRITE occurs before we are able to clear this flag. To work
around this, perform this check after we invoke call_mmap(), with careful
consideration of error paths.
Thanks to Andy Lutomirski for the suggestion!

This patch (of 3):
There is a general assumption that VMAs with the VM_SHARED flag set are
writable. If the VM_MAYWRITE flag is not set, then this is simply not the
case.
Update those checks which affect the struct address_space->i_mmap_writable
field to explicitly test for this by introducing
[vma_]is_shared_maywrite() helper functions.
This remains entirely conservative, as the lack of VM_MAYWRITE guarantees
that the VMA cannot be written to.

Currently, hugetlb memory usage is not acounted for in the memory
controller, which could lead to memory overprotection for cgroups with
hugetlb-backed memory. This has been observed in our production system.
For instance, here is one of our usecases: suppose there are two 32G
containers. The machine is booted with hugetlb_cma=6G, and each container
may or may not use up to 3 gigantic page, depending on the workload within
it. The rest is anon, cache, slab, etc. We can set the hugetlb cgroup
limit of each cgroup to 3G to enforce hugetlb fairness. But it is very
difficult to configure memory.max to keep overall consumption, including
anon, cache, slab etc. fair.
What we have had to resort to is to constantly poll hugetlb usage and
readjust memory.max. Similar procedure is done to other memory limits
(memory.low for e.g). However, this is rather cumbersome and buggy.
Furthermore, when there is a delay in memory limits correction, (for e.g
when hugetlb usage changes within consecutive runs of the userspace
agent), the system could be in an over/underprotected state.
This patch rectifies this issue by charging the memcg when the hugetlb
folio is utilized, and uncharging when the folio is freed (analogous to
the hugetlb controller). Note that we do not charge when the folio is
allocated to the hugetlb pool, because at this point it is not owned by
any memcg.
Some caveats to consider:
* This feature is only available on cgroup v2.
* There is no hugetlb pool management involved in the memory
controller. As stated above, hugetlb folios are only charged towards
the memory controller when it is used. Host overcommit management
has to consider it when configuring hard limits.
* Failure to charge towards the memcg results in SIGBUS. This could
happen even if the hugetlb pool still has pages (but the cgroup
limit is hit and reclaim attempt fails).
* When this feature is enabled, hugetlb pages contribute to memory
reclaim protection. low, min limits tuning must take into account
hugetlb memory.
* Hugetlb pages utilized while this option is not selected will not
be tracked by the memory controller (even if cgroup v2 is remounted
later on).

Patch series "various improvements to the GUP interface", v2.
A series of fixes to simplify and improve the GUP interface with an eye to
providing groundwork to future improvements:-
* __access_remote_vm() and access_remote_vm() are functionally identical,
so make the former static such that in future we can potentially change
the external-facing implementation details of this function.
* Extend is_valid_gup_args() to cover the missing FOLL_TOUCH case, and
simplify things by defining INTERNAL_GUP_FLAGS to check against.
* Adjust __get_user_pages_locked() to explicitly treat a failure to pin any
pages as an error in all circumstances other than FOLL_NOWAIT being
specified, bringing it in line with the nommu implementation of this
function.
* (With many thanks to Arnd who suggested this in the first instance)
Update get_user_page_vma_remote() to explicitly only return a page or an
error, simplifying the interface and avoiding the questionable
IS_ERR_OR_NULL() pattern.
This patch (of 4):
access_remote_vm() passes through parameters to __access_remote_vm()
directly, so remove the __access_remote_vm() function from mm.h and use
access_remote_vm() in the one caller that needs it (ptrace_access_vm()).
This allows future adjustments to the GUP-internal __access_remote_vm()
function while keeping the access_remote_vm() function stable.

- Add cond_resched in the loop that handles converting enums in

- Fix premature wake ups of polling processes in the tracing ring
buffer. When a task polls waiting for a percentage of the ring buffer
to be filled, the writer still will wake it up at every event. Add
the polling's percentage to the "shortest_full" list to tell the
writer when to wake it up.
- For eventfs dir lookups on dynamic events, an event system's only
event could be removed, leaving its dentry with no children. This is
totally legitimate. But in eventfs_release() it must not access the
children array, as it is only allocated when the dentry has children.

All architectures should use a long aligned address passed to set_bit().
User processes can pass either a 32-bit or 64-bit sized value to be
updated when tracing is enabled when on a 64-bit kernel. Both cases are
ensured to be naturally aligned, however, that is not enough. The
address must be long aligned without affecting checks on the value
within the user process which require different adjustments for the bit
for little and big endian CPUs.
Add a compat flag to user_event_enabler that indicates when a 32-bit
value is being used on a 64-bit kernel. Long align addresses and correct
the bit to be used by set_bit() to account for this alignment. Ensure
compat flags are copied during forks and used during deletion clears.

When kernel is compiled without preemption, the eval_map_work_func()
(which calls trace_event_eval_update()) will not be preempted up to its
complete execution. This can actually cause a problem since if another
CPU call stop_machine(), the call will have to wait for the
eval_map_work_func() function to finish executing in the workqueue
before being able to be scheduled. This problem was observe on a SMP
system at boot time, when the CPU calling the initcalls executed
clocksource_done_booting() which in the end calls stop_machine(). We
observed a 1 second delay because one CPU was executing
eval_map_work_func() and was not preempted by the stop_machine() task.
Adding a call to cond_resched() in trace_event_eval_update() allows
other tasks to be executed and thus continue working asynchronously
like before without blocking any pending task at boot time.

It was discovered that the ring buffer polling was incorrectly stating
that read would not block, but that's because polling did not take into
account that reads will block if the "buffer-percent" was set. Instead,
the ring buffer polling would say reads would not block if there was any
data in the ring buffer. This was incorrect behavior from a user space
point of view. This was fixed by commit 42fb0a1e84 by having the polling
code check if the ring buffer had more data than what the user specified
"buffer percent" had.
The problem now is that the polling code did not register itself to the
writer that it wanted to wait for a specific "full" value of the ring
buffer. The result was that the writer would wake the polling waiter
whenever there was a new event. The polling waiter would then wake up, see
that there's not enough data in the ring buffer to notify user space and
then go back to sleep. The next event would wake it up again.
Before the polling fix was added, the code would wake up around 100 times
for a hackbench 30 benchmark. After the "fix", due to the constant waking
of the writer, it would wake up over 11,0000 times! It would never leave
the kernel, so the user space behavior was still "correct", but this
definitely is not the desired effect.
To fix this, have the polling code add what it's waiting for to the
"shortest_full" variable, to tell the writer not to wake it up if the
buffer is not as full as it expects to be.
Note, after this fix, it appears that the waiter is now woken up around 2x
the times it was before (~200). This is a tremendous improvement from the
11,000 times, but I will need to spend some time to see why polling is
more aggressive in its wakeups than the read blocking code.

=======
The memory hotplug events are notified very quickly and very many, while
the handling of crash hotplug is much slower relatively. So the atomic
variable __kexec_lock and kexec_trylock() can't guarantee the
serialization of crash hotplug handling.
Here, add a new mutex lock __crash_hotplug_lock to serialize crash hotplug
handling specifically. This doesn't impact the usage of __kexec_lock.

During RCU-boost testing with the TREE03 rcutorture config, I found that
after a few hours, the machine locks up.
On tracing, I found that there is a live lock happening between 2 CPUs.
One CPU has an RT task running, while another CPU is being offlined
which also has an RT task running. During this offlining, all threads
are migrated. The migration thread is repeatedly scheduled to migrate
actively running tasks on the CPU being offlined. This results in a live
lock because select_fallback_rq() keeps picking the CPU that an RT task
is already running on only to get pushed back to the CPU being offlined.
It is anyway pointless to pick CPUs for pushing tasks to if they are
being offlined only to get migrated away to somewhere else. This could
also add unwanted latency to this task.
Fix these issues by not selecting CPUs in RT if they are not 'active'
for scheduling, using the cpu_active_mask. Other parts in core.c already
use cpu_active_mask to prevent tasks from being put on CPUs going
offline.
With this fix I ran the tests for days and could not reproduce the
hang. Without the patch, I hit it in a few hours.

When CONFIG_SWIOTLB_DYNAMIC=y, devices which do not use the software IO TLB
can avoid swiotlb lookup. A flag is added by commit 1395706a14 ("swiotlb:
search the software IO TLB only if the device makes use of it"), the flag
is correctly set, but it is then never checked. Add the actual check here.
Note that this code is an alternative to the default pool check, not an
additional check, because:
1. swiotlb_find_pool() also searches the default pool;
2. if dma_uses_io_tlb is false, the default swiotlb pool is not used.
Tested in a KVM guest against a QEMU RAM-backed SATA disk over virtio and
*not* using software IO TLB, this patch increases IOPS by approx 2% for
4-way parallel I/O.
The write memory barrier in swiotlb_dyn_alloc() is not needed, because a
newly allocated pool must always be observed by swiotlb_find_slots() before
an address from that pool is passed to is_swiotlb_buffer().
Correctness was verified using the following litmus test:
